REVOLT AGAINST BAKED BEANS.

Convicts In Massachusetts Prison Rebel
Against BOston's Favorite Dish.
A band of desperate convicts in the Massa.
chusetts State prison have defied discipline
and done their best for several days to incite
revolt. The reason given for the outbreak
is an almost incredible one. Warden Russell
says the first sign of trouble was refusal by
the dissatisfied prisoners to eat baked beans.
He declares that nowhere in New England is
this dish served in more succulent and appe-
tizing style than in the prison. The baking
is done to perfection.
The great pots are carefully watched until
the top layer OF beans turns to that dark,
rich brown which makes the Boston epicure
offer a premium for the first spoonful. The
big chunk of half-lean pork sticking up in
the center is always cooked Just to q turn,
juicy and tender. Those who prefer their
beans moist get the choice in perfection, for
in the lower stratum of each pot the favorite
New England fruit swims, sweet and mealy
as baked chestnut, in that amber liquid
born of just the right combination of molas-
ses, melted fat pork and hot oven.
Against this ambrosial dish, served with
the best brown bread, about fifty of the con-
victs revolted. Warden Russell indignation
against, such ingratitude was just and right
eous. He set about quelling the rebellion
with strong hand. Several men who Kissed
him in the chapel on Sunday were detected
and put in solitary confinement. They and
their friends in the regular cells began to
make night hideous with howls and yells
Others were added to those in the solitary,
were so confined. The night disturbance
continued, and the rebellious convicts
smashed everything breakable they could
lay their hands on.
Finally there was contest in which one
convicts nose was broken and another had
an arm broken, since which the distaste for
tiOns .

The Cabinet meet ct twelve o'clock,
and Il depends on what business Il be-
fore them a. to the duration Of the ses.
sion. Sometimes they are together until
five In the afternoon, and sometimes later
but this rarely happens, the session gener-
ally being over by three or half-past three
o'clock. Former Presidents used to make
the Cabinet meetings q sort Of informal
talks, but President Cleveland has the
reputation of ruling and doing most OF
the talking himself. The Cabinet mem.
bers bring with them large portfolios
containing documents and papers relat.
ing to matters to be discussed. These
are open before them, and the different
departments called in rotation, COM
mencing with the Secretary of State,
then the Treasury, War, Navy, Post
office, Interior, and finally the Justice.
While the Cabinet is in session no one is
allowed to approach the door. The Pres.
idents private messenger or doorkeeper,
Charles Loeffler, who has held that posi-
ton since Grants first term, guards the
entrance like the NEUROLOGICAL Cerberus
and never sleeps. The Cabinet meetings
are always secret, and this strict guard
has to be kept. The Cabinet officers gen.
orally ride to the White House on Cab
met days and send their portfolios by
messengers from their departments. Sec
retary Lamar in the spring and summer
rides up on horseback. Sometimes his
groom forgets to bring his horse back in
time, and the Mississippi statesman flies
into fury and walks off to find him. One
day last summer he caught his groom rid.
ing up and down the avenue on his horse.
The unlucky man tumbled off when he
saw the secretary like he had been shot.
Lamar was so mad he did not speak to
the man, but grabbed the bride away
from him, and instead of getting on,
walked away, leading the horse along the
middle of the broad avenue until he
reached the State Department. The poor
groom followed at a respectable distance.
Postmaster General Villas always rides
up in his little one-horse coupe. He
generally stops for the Secretary of the
Interior during the winter, when horse
back riding is out Of season, and the two
come together. Manning used to walk
messenger following-that, is until he
tary Fairchild almost always walks. Sec
riages and Secretary Bayard often rides,
but generally, as the State Department is
near, walks. Attorney General Garland
rides in street car or walks. After the
Cabinet adjourns the members go out in
twos and threes and seem to be glad to
get away. The Cabinet room after long
session presents a sort of worried look.
The maps in the racks are pulled down,
showing they have been used, while the
table is Uttered with paper and the waste
basket has its complement of torn en-
velopes and bits of letters. When all
have gone Loeffler comes in and in few
minutes the room is in its accustomed
state of primness. JOHN s. SHRIvER.

a BIG RIVER CARGO.
Freight Enough to Require 2,OOO Freight
Cars and Fifty Engines. D

There is now coming down the Mississippi
the largest load ever carried by single
steamer. This is the tow of the Joseph b.
Williams, consisting of thirty-nine boats and
barges loaded with coal. 1t was made up on
the Ohio, passed Cairo some days ago, and IS
now well on the Mississippi. 1t was feared
that the steamer would not be able to handle
this immense fleet, and that it would become
necessary, in consequence. to break up the
big tow: but now that it has reached the
deep water of the Mississippi these apprehen.
of s26,Oll bushels of coal, or 81, 1888 tons. No
better evidence than this could be gwen of
the value Of the Mississippi as means Of
transportation. Compare this load with
what the railroads can do. 1t would take
1900 freight cars and fifty engines to carry
this cargo by rail, which IS brought lown BY
single steamer. and the trains would stretch
out, out more than ten miles in length; The Mis-
commerce it ought to; but 1t can be relied
upon to perform great feats of transportation
like this, almost beyond the possibilities of
the railroads.-NeW Orleams Tlmes-D Democrat.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Cabinet days
are Tuesdays and Thursdays. During
President Cleveland's first year he held
his Cabinet meetings on the same day as
all his predecessors-that is, on Tuesdays
and Fridays; but he changed, and now
holds them on the days as given above.
The Cabinet room is at the head of the
public stairway on the second floor of the
White House. It is over the first private
parlor, known as the Green Room, and
between the Presidents library and
Colonel Lamont's office. It is small
room, quite full of furniture, rather
shabby in appearance, but in keeping
with the other furniture in the business
part of the White House, all of which is
old and forlorn-looking for Presidents
mansion.
President Lincoln used to hold his
Cabinet meetings in the room now used by
Colonel Lamont for an office. He had an
old desk with large rack of pigeon holes
above it. 1t used to occupy the space
directly in front of the door leading now
to what is the Cabinet room. In the

time" said her mother, shaking her by the
shoulder. "Here are all your books tumbled
in heap on the floor. :.
Bertha jumped up and rubbed her eyes; Il
was dark outside, and the foot she hac
tucked under her when she sat down was
''asleep" and tingling, so she knew she had
been there long time.
"Have you been studying your lessons2"
asked her mamma.
"Well, not exactly, but have been sing
ing them in very funny way" she said,
blinking her eyes and looking up with q
puzzled expression.
Mamma smiled, and taking Bertha's hand
In hers, led her out to supper.

HORSES AND MULES,
Magnitude Of the National Investment
in Live Stock.

Magnitude Of the National Investment
in Live Stock.
Everybody in this country is interested in
live stock. The man who takes no pleasure
in looking at thoroughbred horse is fit for
stratagems and spoils. His judgment is not
to be trusted on any political or religious
question of the day, for his head is filled
with sawdust and his heart is piece of mar
BILE stained blood red-a base, contemptible
counterfeit.
Just look at few stupendous facts taken
culture Just at hand. IKE tettis ol Of f sbe
whole" value, as Mr.. Hume used to say in
Parliament, of horsefesh in this country is
what? Guess. Open your eyes and be
prepared to deny the statement when we say
1t is as close to 81 ,000, 600 900 as figures can
make It, and open your eyes once moye when
other live stock, as mules, cows, sheep and
swine, reaches the epormous sum of %, 500, :
100000.
Now look at some numbers. Texas and
Illinois take the lead. In the former there
are !,O3S, ,816 horses. They are small and
largely Of Spanish origin and find market
the latter there are 1,O58, ,247, but they are
more valuable and larger. The favorite
breeds are the French draught, the Clydes-
dale, the English shires and the Cleveland
bays. New York has CSC, ,8O2 horses, but
they are worth something over S85, 600 900
while the million horses of Texas are worth
only little more than e33, 100000.
As for mules, the meanest of brutes, with
lots of total depravity in their hind legs and
q very evangelical expression of fcountenance,
the country tolerates Ill, ,1A Of them, and
their value Is Sl67 ,0O0, 900. There are no mules
to speak Of in Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island or Con-
necticut, probably because the old'fashioned
Puritanism didn't care to share ite total de-
pravity with the brute creation and kept II
all for ITSELF At least that is the only reason
discovered so far.
As four-legged study these facts and fig
4res have a peculiar interest.-Nev York

COULDN'T TAKE THE TRIP FOR NOTHING.
A man and woman were loudly disputing
in a doorway on Gratiot street yesterday
when Detective Boberitz happened along and
asked what was the trouble
cts Just this" replied the farmer "She's
my wife. We live out here about seven miles,
and she's had the toothache for three days
and nights. We drove in this morning to
have the tooth pulled, and now she wants to
back OUT
But it has stopped aching" protested the
wife.
"Yes, but it will begin again as soon as we
get home"
"No, it won't"
But we can't drive fourteen miles and lose
half-a-day for nothing"
"You might have your tin-types taken,"
suggested the detective. THAT will be the
next thing to having tooth pulled"
"Tll agree to that" promptly replied the
wife. Pm willing to suffer, but it's no use
to pull tooth unless it aches.'
"Well, we'll do that then," observed the
husband, land I'm much obliged to you,
stranger, for the suggestion. There's place
right over there, and guess we can be per.
formed on and get home in time for dinner"
